“With the greatest respect, the Carabao Cup game plays second fiddle to the Peterborough game if he is edging towards full fitness that week it will be the Peterborough game that is most important."

Ross added: "Duncan Watmore and Ethan Robson are still absent. Other than that, as we were. Jack Baldwin is back after illness."
